Two SOLDIERS.

Will not somebody kindly call the
attention Of Mr.. Foraker, OF Ohio, TO
Col. Andrew Cowan's very extrsor-
dinaiy performance at Gettysburg
last sundsyf Some twenty.four
years ago, while Col. Cowan, Of the
philadelphia Brigade" was hurting
shot from the Bloody Angle" at
Pickstt's division, a young Confederate
officer, sword In hand, sprsng q. the
very muzsle Of the cannon, to the ex
erclse Of which Col. Cowsn was devot-
ing his best energies. 1t cost the
young fellow his life, and Col. C)wsn
took possession Of the weapon that
had dropped from the hands Of the
soldier In gray. Now what has Col.
Cowan dons2 Doubtless TO the In
tense annoyance Of the present Gov
ernor OF Ohio, he has deliberately and
with good will aforethought presented
to the Pickett Division Association, in
the very presence OF Gen. Pickett's
widow ON the one hand aud the sur
vivors oil the Philadelphia Brigade on
the other, the sw I'd which the ardent
Confederate had left at the smoking
mouth OF Col. Oowan's cannon nearly
q quarter Of a century ago. Is this
rot enough TO make the wind.catching
Governor OF Ohio boil with fury ?
Should he not In the exercise Of bis
functions as keeper Of bis country's
tropbiss-sn office to which he was
unanimously elected by his own vote
AT once proceed to secure au-
| other writ Of iDiunctlonf Must
\ not appear most INDUSTRIOUS
in his eyes that this man
Oowan should have the infinite
impudence TO return to the friend, Of
the dsad-friends who cherish the
memory OF that young hero who for
got danger In the enthusiasm Of a..
tsult-the trophy which by oil the
rules Of war was legitimate posses-
siou1 There are those who will say
that Col. Oowan's act was generous,
noble and soldierlike, but not Of such
soldier stud Ia the Governor Of 0hio.
To 30 reasonable performance will
Mr.. Foraker never consent, 80 long a.
he sees a oherub that sees the phan.
tom 81 q vote to be gained by mock
ps,Iioiic posturiDg and inasmma'
tory appeals to ancient prejudice.
II Ia very evident that there are two
classes OF ex soldiers on the other side
Of the ohio-one OF which Col. oowsn
10 the type; the other Of which Nr.
Foraker 10 the shining eIemplar. We
believe the former TO have the larger
following.

THE COUNTY DEBT AND THE
ROADS.

Chairman Slaughter, In his "mes-
ssge" 10 the County Court, yesterday,
after confessiog that the expenditures
had exceeded The receipts during the
last quarter, suggests-he does not
recommend-tbat the magistrates
consider the propriety Of issuing
100000 In bonds in aid OF the
building Of turnpikes, by and with the
consent Of the people and ultimately
Of the Legislature. The agreement he
makes 10 sustain this suggestion is an
old one. We have heard Il be-
fore. II was for thirty years
the stock argument Of the old
city fathers for the construction and
paving OF streets that were never con-
s,ructsd or paved. II Ia that by issu-
ing the bonds the county would bo
merely a. ticipsiiDg the tax levy for
the came purpose by twenty years.
This sounds very nice, but II
would fail s the bond issu 90
Of the old city government
failed and would DO q standing tempt
alton 10 jobbery. II Mr.. Slaughter
wants encouragement In pursuing the
even tenor OF his way and doing what
he can with the road lax In the way
o, continuing the work Of construction
we recon mend him to call upon Mr..
Hidden and he will explain
to him what he has done.
We venture 10 say that Mr.. Slaughter,
with such leeson In practical, sensi-
BILE and honorable management with
very little money, IS Mr.. Hadden can
give him out OF the abundance Of
bis own experience, will at once
change his mind and withdraw
his suggestion for the issuance
Of $3O0,0 In bonds for the grsveling
Of roads. II the County Court would
i've It's whole mind and all its powers
10 the construction Of roads a. unre-
servsdly ~ Mr.. Hadden has 10 the
construction Of streets they would be
more surprised at the end Of the
year than ever they can 90 by
the policy they are now pursuing Of
throwing away money on bridge, and
levees TO satisfy the speculative de-
mand Of ono or two enterprisins
farmers. The money thus throws
away by the court would pay for the
construction Of roads as fas
90 they could be- bull
Ia the next Eve years
Mr.. Slaughter was selected for hl
place by the ArrEAL, and we feel NOR,
